This was my first trip to Hong Kong; I had accepted a consulting assignment, so this gave me the opportunity to see the Far East on expenses!
Here are some details on the trip:
Airfare: CAD $1398 on Air Canada (good for 12740 Aeroplan points!)
Hotel: MetroPark Hotel (Sept 14-22) and the Hotel New Harbour (Sept 22-28)
Exchange Rate: Approximately 4.9 HK$ per 1 CAD
Climate: Hot (25 to 30 degrees C) and humid; torrential rain the first couple of days
Fake Rolex Submariner Watch: HK$ 235
